Several days ago, a group of ATProto developers got together to create Standard.site - the first lexicon developed collaboratively for longform content.
As someone who's recently gotten into writing more on ATProto, and doing more with development in general, I was pretty stoked.
This also provided me the needed kick in the pants to get my personal website in gear, after many years of not doing this exact thing, for various reasons, mostly because I have a crippling need to be perfect and the ability to procrastinate almost anything. (In fact, you'll notice my website is still not up. You should feel free to cause me immense annoyance if this is still the case by Tuesday.)
Aaaaanyway, using my good buddy Claude, I did some investigation about quality static site generators in 2026, and in an effort to not get caught up, went with the #1 choice: Astro.
Hopping back into Claude Code, and using the Standard.site docs and the lexicons on tangled, I built a plugin for Astro that will:
login to your PDS
create relevant records for your blog and blog posts with the full, correct, validated schema
add the strongRef to the schema if you add a bluesky post URL in frontmatter
show replies to the Bluesky post as comments on the blogpost
Additionally, the plugin can:
pull records from your atproto repos and create blogposts from them.
more on this soon, right now you still need to write parsers for each different content type, otherwise it'll just be plaintext.'
pull records from other atproto repos and create blogposts from them!
Example scripts and more are included.
